CHANT BONDURANT

Railroad Detective and Good Citizen, Died This Morning of Pneumonia

The death of Railroad Detective Chant Bondurant occurred at his home on West main Street at 1 o'clock this morning folling a week's illness with influenza* and pneumonia. The decedent was a son of Mrs. Louvina Bondurant and the late McKindred Bondurant. He was born in this city January 10, 1878, and spent his entire life here with the exception of the time he spent on the river as mate on various steamboats.

He was a fine specimen of manhood and was appointed to the police force of Madison several years ago and later was appointed detective for the Pennsylvania railroad, which latter position he held until his death.

Mr. Bondurant was a member of the West Madison Methodist Church and belonged to Madison Lodge, I.O.O.F., and Juniata Tribe I.O.R.M. He was a hale fellow, well met and had hosts of friends to whom the announcement of his death will come as a shock and surprise as very few people knew of his illness. His wife had also been sick with influenza but is improving and is able to be up and about.

Besides his widow the deceased is survived by his mother, Mrs. Louvina Bondurant, two sisters, Miss Emma, living at home, and Mrs. Nicholas Deversey, of Indianapolis, and two brothers, Capt. Albert Bondurant, of this city, and Mr. John Bondurant, of Dayton, Ohio. He also leaves a daughter, Miss Virginia Bondurant, by a former marriage, living at Connersville.

The funeral will take place from the residence Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and the interment will be in Springdale Cemetery.
